Hey all. I’m looking for a bulk episode renaming application for Linux, preferably GUI. Before switching, I used Rename My TV Series 2 on Winblow. But I can’t seem to get it to work on my Pop_os 22.04. Any good alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks!
Update: A lot of the suggestions seemed too high level for what I wanted; I don’t care about how the images or posters look, I just wanted to remove the excess junk at the end of the episode names easily. The point is “H265 CougarDiverRips 1080p” isn’t really important after I download it.
Solution: Rename My TV Series 2 Linux version kept giving sqlite errors even after installing required dependencies. So I installed the Winblows version with wine. Works as expected without errors, simple drag and drop select series and go.
You may be able to use the CLI tool
mmv
, which can be installed through the apt package manager. It’s great at renaming files that are starting a similar naming convention and ending with a similar naming convention, you could usemmv
to move your files. It also suppose sum links and hardlinks. It’s what I used to rename folders of tv shows when I need to do that.
